New York, NYPosted Jul 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a very concentrated coding day they called “snapfest.” After the recruiter process that kicked everything off, I showed up for two back-to-back rounds, each about an hour, and the whole thing felt like a single block of interviews rather than separate stages spread out over days.

Both rounds were LeetCode-style medium problems.

What stood out most was the interviewer tone. The engineers weren’t cold or combative—when I got stuck, they were willing to guide me and keep things moving instead of shutting me down. Even though the problems were challenging, the format felt structured and fair, and I ended the day feeling like I’d learned a lot from how the interviews were run.

I didn’t end up getting an offer, but the experience didn’t feel hostile. It felt difficult mainly because of the pace and the medium-level problem set packed into a full day.
